Participating by telephone, Representative Burgess, a medical doctor and member of the House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee, spoke about the possible avian flu pandemic. He discussed how there should be a nationwide network for doctors and other first responders to keep track of what’s happening across the states in an emergency such as an avian flu pandemic.
